Front Dash Crack

[Kenny D]

Compare the areas that crack on your old dash and you will see where you would need to beef it up. From what I have seen most people have cracks in the same areas. I would probably go 3 layers in those areas.

I gotcha. Adding strength to the same areas that cracked seems like a wise idea.

You know it's ridiculous that we are talking about adding fiberglass layers to a brand new dashboard because the likely hood it will crack again is pretty high.

GM should be flipping ashamed. Morons.

No just a dumb ass engineer , who probably graduated at the bottom of his class, flunked out on the stress analysis part.

Fellow Tahoe/Yukon owners:
My 2011 Yukon dash cracked in similar fashion as many have described. Literally, out of the blue it is there.
I have an extremely reliable and honest Chevrolet dealer who services my Denali. When asked about this weird dash fracture, they allowed it was a known product problem. No further discussion and I understand this. However, GM and the dealer did allow a $300 credit on an otherwise $600+ replacement charge. In a couple of days, the new dash was perfectly installed and I am down the road again.
Given my Denali was five years old and way out of any warranty, I feel both GM and this very ethical Chevrolet dealer offered a very fair proposal.
Bottom line: Talk to your GM dealer if you utilize one and you may be surprised.

Sad to learn this. Raleigh is a long way from Acworth, GA so most likely it isn't worth your time and effort. However, I'll ask my service manager if he would discuss the situation with you.
